Research Interests

I am a marine ecologist, interested in animals like mussels, barnacles and crustaceans that live on the seabed or on human structures like ships. I research human impacts on marine environment, especially in polar environments. My current research focuses on the risk of introducing non-native marine species to Antarctica, especially via biofouling on ships.
